Should We Have Free University Education? by Hussain

In the article " Free College Education Today, InnovationTomorrow Together We Can" the author states that governments should offer free public university education for all students which leads also to decrease private university tuition. There will be two options for students to attend public or private university based on what they are interested in and their economic situation. One disadvantage of offering free university education for students is tax perhaps would escalate because these funds would come from somewhere. However, when government provides free education, students would not need federal aids and government would pay directly to universities which would be easier for universities in order to expand and develop their buildings and that will improve economy and create more jobs. Many countries have started to offer free university education such as Argentina, Brazil, and Egypt. We can evaluate and enhance these programs in order to apply it in the United States.

Affordable education is a critical issue for many people in the world. Some people decide not to continue their education, and they work for lower wages as a consequence, which contribute to expand of a lower income class in society. Therefore, I would agree that governments should offer a free university education to any student who has been admitted to a university but who cannot afford the tuition in order to maintain education quality.

The reason that I agree with this suggestion is that promoting equality in the society. There are many families have financial problems, and they are suffering with their lives, so financial resources is a serious problem for them to send their children to college. Their children are admitted and have adequate skills to study in a university what is their guilt to not study at university? Only because they do not have enough financial resources while other students who can afford university tuition can continue their education. Therefore, governments should play a main role here to assist these students to get a good education. For instance, in Saudi Arabia, government have made significant efforts in order to improve society by offering free education for all qualified students not only for university but also for the primary schools even if they are not Saudis because they become a part of the society. In addition, the Saudi government created King Abdullah program for scholarship to recruit highly qualified students and send them to study abroad.

It is important for youth to have a sufficient education because they would be the leaders in our society despite of their financial abilities, so government should play its role to improve all society classes.
